So, God forbid, if there was another turrist attack in a few days

[Ilsa]

would the right-wingers who have flip-flopped over the last few days flop back to WA, screaming for him to protect them?

Or would the lightbulb brighten and they realize that WA has been (by personal defect) powerless to "protect" them all along?

1. Who knows. They're trying to stir up fear again.

Talking about gas and chemicals at Grand Central, Penn Station, City Hall, and downtown Brooklyn.

6. Just heard they're also pulling over vehicles

at the bridges and tunnels. Again. NY is on alert.

3. i remind you of a great quote

As E. J. Dionne noted in the Washington Post: "The only
thing Republicans have to fear is the end of fear itself."

[Langis]

4. That's great!

Thank you for that quote!

5. Americans increasingly believe that Iraq War could cause terrorism

I found this to be an encouraging sign, and it could very well influence how Americans interpret the next terrorist attack.

7. But...but...but

I heard today the repugs spouting a new talking point...it's better to fight terrorists in Iraq instead of here. They made it sound as if all the Al Qaeda baddies flocked to Iraq and we're safer. If there is another attack, they're screwed. Total loss of confidence for chimpy.

8. I don't think New York is gonna be the target.

Seattle, Chicago and Las Vegas are my top picks
